Last Words

The video footage and photos were shot just over a week ago. Our Granny died last night. This is the only footage of my Son with his Great Grandmother.

We should all record more. Not just for ourselves but for those who will carry on after us.

Absolutely. A couple of years ago I sat down & recorded myself talking with my Mum & Dad about how they met, it means I can still hear him when I want to. Sincere condolences.

That was fabulous, and the words at the start are so true. You're right, we do need to document our lives more. It's so easy to let life slip by. My wife and I keep photo journals for our children and it brings so much pleasure to everyone in the family to look back through them.

Sorry to hear this.Those are beautiful photos though. Lucky you took them! Hope that minimentally will get to see the video someday.
~the only permanence is impermanence~ The only thing we can do is trying to be in the moment(s). You just capture many of them because you SEE things in those moments...with a spirit that is open to things. Just Documentally.
And I dont think it's morbid. Its life.
